Proposals for publishing (by subscription) two select pieces
of church music.
1st. An hymn, (by way of an anthem) consisting of solos,
duets, one trio, and chorus; together with a psalm tune,
adapted for any charitable church collection, and first
design'd for the benefit of the Free-School, belonging to
Trinity Church, in New-York, to be perform'd in the churches
at the annual collection; the school being chiefly supported
by charity; the words of the hymn, by a gentleman of King's
College.
2d. A performance adapted for a funeral; consisting of three
dirges, (or chorus) the words part of the burial service;
together with an anthem, and a psalm tune suitable on the
solemnity of a funeral or interment of any person of note,
&c. The whole never yet perform'd, being very lately set to
music, by William Tuckey, for some years a professor of the
theory and practice of vocal music, Vicar Choral of the
cathedral church of Bristol, and Clerk of the parish of St.
Mary Port in said city, now resident in New-York.
The subscribers to pay two shillings at the time of
subscribing, and two shillings more on the delivery of the
work (New-York currency) which is to be neatly engrav'd on
copper plates, and work'd off on the best paper: And when
ready to be deliver'd, notice will be inserted in the New-
York, Philadelphia, and Boston papers: The subscribers to
be at the expence of sending their subscriptions, and for
their books to New-York, either to Hugh Gaine, printer, or
the proprietor, William Tuckey. N.B. No more will be work'd
off than what are subscribed for, so that none will be sold
by any bookseller but those who subscribe, who will be
intitled to the usual discount.
